1. A network device, comprising: a processor, a memory, and a program stored on the memory and executable by the processor, wherein, when the program is executed by the processor, the following steps are implemented:
transmitting physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration information to a user equipment (UE), wherein the PDCCH configuration information is for indicating at least one search space of a PDCCH of the UE, and the search space comprises a group common search space, wherein the search space of the PDCCH is a space in which the UE performs detection of the PDCCH;
wherein a starting position of the group common search space of the UE is irrelevant to an identity of the UE.
